SA vs IND: Possible India Playing 11 for 1st ODI

India Playing 11: Indian ODI squad has never looked this unsettled in a long time. The fact that they are missing only their 2 first choice players for this series in Rohit Sharma who is injured, and Mohammad Shami who is rested and still they pose an unsettled look tells a lot about the importance of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja to this side. The move to include Ravichandran Ashwin is an interesting one as this is the time where finger spinners struggle in ODI cricket due to the fact that only 4 fielders are allowed outside the circle between overs 11 to 40 where spinners will be operating majorly.

India also have a problem of plenty with respect to selection as they don’t have neither the batting depth nor the bowling depth.

Team news:

Virat Kohli will be playing his best format after a long time.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal are expected to be playing together in this game.
Venkatesh Iyer will be playing the role of an all rounder for India in this series.
